First off, I believe that you need to know and believe that you are a sinner who can't get to God or heaven on your own. You also need to believe that Jesus came to earth as a man, suffered and died for your sins, and rose from the dead for you to be able to gain access to heaven, and have a personal relationship with God.

I believe that differences in denominations don't matter unless

A) They keep someone from coming to know Christ

or

B) They cause you to stumble in your own walk with Jesus.

Ultimately though it doesn't matter whether or not Peter was the first Pope (I'm just using this as an example) or anything like that. All that matters is if you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God's not going to send someone to hell if they really believe the before mentioned things but they don't believe Peter was the first Pope or vice versa.
